clinton said he'd lost count. >> it's close. this is the clinton presidency.want to do will not happen unless we approve this plan. >> as majority leader, i was very much concerned, obviously, about what the outcome was going to be. we needed 50 votes, and we were at 49. bob kerrey, senator from nebraska, he had genuine doubts. >> will you tell us what you're planning to do, senator? >> no. >> until he went to get up to speak in the senate, i wasn't sure what he was going to say. >> president clinton, if you're watching now, as i suspect you are, i tell you this. i could not and should not cast a vote that brings down your presidency. >> by the slimmest of all possible margins, the president saved his budget bill and the political clout of his administration. >> after 12 long years, we can say to the american people tonight we have laid the foundation for the renewal of the american dream. >> passing the budget was a victory because we didn't lose. but usually you could get one member from the other side. >> every single republican in the congress voted agains

clinton: actually, it is wonderful.rarely in 17 years have i even given a thought to -- i wish i were there, i could do this, or i miss this. i think you have to be grateful for the time you have and realize you should focus on today and the future. and i think it is both liberating and also it concentrates the memory. you don't know how many years you have left, but you feel that the country has given you something priceless and you owe something back. and so, each in our own way, we have tried to figure that out. i have found it a really rewarding part of my life. i have loved it. mr. bush: i woke up in crawford the day after the presidency expecting someone to bring me the coffee. [laughter] mr. bush: laura didn't bring the coffee. [laughter] i think the thing that startled me was the sense of having no responsibility. in other words, during the presidency you kind of become accustomed to the responsibility you have. first it is pretty grave, and then slowly but surely it becomes a natural part of your life. then you

bill clinton doesn't use email.ere is another wrinkle to this scandal that is disturbing that needs to be investigated. according to documents that judicial watch received clinton's calls, schedules were blocked from being made public and were allowed to be removed. that's interesting when you consider this article from the a.p. in august of 2016. the headline "many donors to clinton foundation met with her at state." g and the article goes on to detail, quote: at least 85 of 154 people from private interest who met or who had phone conversations scheduled with clinton while she led the state department, they all donated to her family charity or pledged commitments to its international programs.. now, and according to a review of state department calendars released so far to the a.p. combined the 85 donors contributed as much as $156 million. and at least 40 donated more than $100,000 each and 20 gave more than a million. so is that why clinton and abedin wanted to remove records of hillary's calls and schedules? th

eric holder clinton chelsea clinton a liberal.. >> sean: i want to be clear, i love the fbi. i love law enforcement. i love our intelligence community. at the top, we have got deep corruption. >> sean, i know what you have done for our military and law enforcement. no need to even say it people who know you know exactly what you have done. this is not a knock on the rank and file fbi. men and women. they are wonderful. this case is a sham. joe scarborough by the way should be embarrassed. i know jim jordan well. jim scarborough couldn't wipe jim jordan's nose if he had a cold. this is a critical question right now, which, by the way, honorable man jim jordan has asked. was this dossier used to spy on americans or not? have you noticed, sean? nobody could answer the question. rod rosenstein said oh, i have the answer but i can't answer it. that's the critical question and thank god people like jim jordan are asking it right now. >> sean: what did you think of the comey letter from may 2nd or exoneration before investigation. gerald

but hillary clinton, not so much.got to remember, one of the little-known facts there is the department of justice, via the fbi, was handing out immunity like candy. in those immunity agreements, they were not required to cooperate with government officials. you can track that was general flynn, who had to plead guilty and has to cooperate. here you are giving out immunity. these witnesses had no obligation to work with government officials and investigators and there are still, sean, to this day, tens of thousands of documents, hillary clinton emails, that have not been shared with congress. they are still sitting at the department of state. >> sean: unbelievable. wouldn't you have to redo this investigation, knowing what we know now, about how the fix was in? >> absolutely. the entire campaign, over andwa over, was lying. there was collusion, coordination betweenor the campaign, the state department, focus on the hill, as i have said over and o over again. a very coordinated effort, strategically, by those three ent

clinton. and which the fbi may have used to launch an intelligence probe on a cam opinion trump advisor. then he became a top figure in the probe of russian collusion led by robert mueller until july of this year when mueller learned strzok sent an email to a colleague critical of trump. >> there were pro hillary people at the heart of the investigation. >> this was one of the lead agents on the hillary clinton email investigation. if trite's disturbing and possibly could call for a reopening of that investigation. reporter: the fbi inspector general is reviewing strzok's role in the matter. a source close to the investigation said it should be completed next year. house intelligence committee chairman devin nunes has been seeking to interview him for two months. d.o.j. emailed to counsel to house speaker paul ryan saying strzok would be available after all. he participated in the questioning of michael flynn on january 24 that led to his guilty plea. and it was peter strzok who changed comey

to take a look. >> peter strzok who ran the clinton investigation interviewed secretary clinton, changing gross negligence to the term extreme carelessness. randy asked investigation, interviewed mike flynn, gets put on mueller's team, gets kicked off her a text messages that is anti-trump. if you kicked everybody off of mueller's team that was anti-trump, there would be no one left. so there has to be something more here. my hunch is that it has something to do with the dossie dossier. director, did peter strzok send the application to the fisa court to secure a warrant to spy on americans associated with the trump campaign? >> congressman, not prepared to discuss anything about the fisa process. >> was to peter strzok involved and taken out to the court? >> i'm not going to discuss in this setting anything to do with the fisa court applications. >> it is been report that this dossier was dressed up by the fbi, take into the fisa court ad presented as a legitimate intelligence document -- that it became the basis for granting a warrant to spy on americans. i am wondering if that actually

hillary clinton is dirty.i writes in exoneration before the investigation and jury, that is wrong, and don't you come out and tell me that everybody does it, nobody does that. you do an investigation and then you make a decision. >> he's got to fire mueller. he's got to shut this down. i say to the american people right now as a formal federal agent, you are getting worked. you are being played for fools. if any more of this comes out, he's got to shut that down, they have to clean house at the top of the fbi. there is no other way. >> sean: who's going to fire him? >> he can't fire him. that's the problem. you've got to have -- sessions has got to exercise some control and appoint special counsel himself. rod rosenstein is running everything from the department of justice. >> sean: this is a goodhi question, where is the attorney general of this country? where is he? >> thank you. that's the problem. rosenstein -- sessions has backed off because rosenstein has told him that he's got to. >> he's got to get rid

trump and clinton.hey are the focus of foreign powers, he engaged in an affair if the reports are true, what is a one-way foreign power -- through affairs. after it was revealed that he had an affair, with a fellow fbi agent, the fbi department talking about integrity, where do they put him, and human resources like he has some expertise on following the rules. it is amazing to me. there are more questions about whether he was in a compromised position. he had an affair. >> sean: it was epic at the hearing today. i mean -- seriously, what the republican state is everything we have all been talking about. it is getting interesting. thank you, all. when we come back, tomi lahren, jessica tarlov weigh in. also newt gingrich reacts to the witch hunt. as we continue. ♪ as we cont you might take something for your heart... or joints. but do you take something for your brain. with an ingredient originally found in jellyfish, prevagen is the number one selling brain-health supplement in drug stores nationwide.

many of them went to hillary clinton. those dues went to hillary clinton who actually they ended up buying off russian informants in an acquire-style dossier. and they were actually voting for donald trump. >> it's exactly what they say they don't like about trump that they can't prove for a year. last thing, what do we do? i don't even know what to do about roberts mueller, congressman gates, last word. >> sean, what i would say is first thing we need to do is get rid of this mueller investigation. the attorney general jeff sessions sees the same things we see. i don't know why jeff sessions has not fired bob mueller yet as a consequence of terrible investigation. second thing we need to do is set up procedures at the fbi where there is more oversight and transparency so this never happens again. so we never gate rogue director like jonbenet ramsey. >> is this the worst you have ever seen it? >> it is unquestionably. time now for jeff sessions to do his job. if he doesn't do his job you, step aside and let somebody else

hillary clinton lost pennsylvania. here is what is interesting, and but we didn't see until about two and a half or three weeks ago in other states like this. the margin of victory's in the suburbs was pretty similar in terms of what obama had done in 2008 and 2012. the average margin of victory in the suburban philadelphia counties, you get about a hundred and 7000 votes for hillary clinton. in philadelphia -- philadelphia county, it is going democrats getsback to 1988 and she margin 65,000 votes of a of error. it is not quite what obama had done, but at that with the margin of victory she had enjoyed in the philadelphia counties -- she is basically where obama was. philadelphia,in how they expected in terms of turnout by different age groups, african-americans, anglos. philadelphia is in the southeast corner. bush won in 88, and clinton wins in his two races. see that bush beat kerry there by 350,000, and in 2012, romney defeated clinton and -- obama by 300,000. 700,000, more than the differential he was down in the

clinton lock free before interviewing for the key people in the investigation, including hillary clintonthey exonerated clinton before ever concluding the investigation. then the same fbi official helped oversee special counsel robert mueller's probe into possible election interference and according to sarah carter's reporting, interviewed lieutenant general michael flynn. this guy is abusively biased. we have been saying for months that this is a political witch hunt. this new information about peter strzok is a smoking gun. these types of tactics, they are only used in banana republics. house intelligence committee chairman kevin nunez, he is now threatening to hold fbi and the doj in contempt of congress for stonewalling about why this guy strzok was fired back in august, and what all of you need to know, the american people tonight, you need to know this. how deeply was this one guy, peter strzok involved in mueller's investigation? because other than michael flynn, who else did he interview? why didn't he put hillary under oath? and where else could strzok have influenced and compro

clinton plus so -- clinton isught -- clinton's support stronger in pennsylvania. it could be enough to tilt ohio and michigan to trump and put pennsylvania in play. by this time, ohio is looking like a trump state. but here it is looking more like a tossup. michigan and pennsylvania were much closer. it also shows that clinton enjoys a one-point lead in florida. most of the polls in florida were close. that is one of the states to look for who was on the mark the , public polling was pretty good there. yes, because, it does matter who turns out. now this is a look at the map as it finally ended up. 306 for trump 232 electoral , votes for clinton. some don't like the look of that map. let us make it a cartogram and make those states to keep the color they are but base it on the size of the state. that looks more balanced. if you don't like that, you can go to different shades of red and blue. not everything is really read or really blue. there are purple counties throughout the country. if you apply that to the cartogram, that is your nation. how trump won. quickly

a two-point lead for clinton. if you work in third-party candidates, which is often done in polling, having a head-to-head between the republican and the democrat and then throwing in third-party candidates, you get a different rate. what i like is what happens and how close the race becomes and what it looks like depending on how you set up the scale. look at the top one. the scale up. -- 50% and then down to 38%. the one at the bottom goes from zero up to 50. don't think for a second that polling and data cannot be presented in different ways to give you a certain look. certainly, the trump campaign liked the bottom one because it was tighter. at the same time as the national polls that were out through the cycle, there were different statewide polls. one of the things we had to recognize with those is that there were not as many of them as it were national polls. one of the knocks on what happened in the electorate -- and the election was how many polls were there? clintonat mid-october, and mccain were just a

i'm making the case here, 30 years or defending the clintons, defending that predator bill clinton, andey that she took from all of these countries that abused women, killed gays and lesbians, this is political expediency. all of this, the flood, it was clearly orchestrated by the democrats. there is a political strategy behind it. i do agree with that? >> i think the strategy is we cannot support men who are sexual abusers. a sexual assault is not acceptable.>> >> sean: wrong answer. i think -- they turn on him because they have no choice. they want to say, let's go after the republicans. >> no. there should not be hypocrisy, and i have said this over and over on your show. if bill clinton was a sexual abuser, let's bring it to the forefront -- >> sean:no we know he was. >> let's bring into the forefront, let's bring it forward. the same way as people are talking but roy moore, the same way people talk about john conyers. let's keep this nonpartisan and let's make theon world a better place for people who work for government. >> sean: people are treated with the respect they deserve. m

then the clinton campaign. some want to go to russia to talk to russiansi intelligence o dig up dirt on donald trump. by the standards that mueller has presented in terms of reasons to investigate someone, certainly there are to be a special counsel looking into what hillary clinton was doing, getting money with the russians, and working with their intelligence services to figure out if there was thereir to be gotten on her political opponent.. >> you know, increasingly, almost day by day, the shape of a plot is beginning to emerge. >> kimberly: so true. >>er people were determined, for political reasons, to absolving to exonerate hillary clinton, to clear a path for her to become president. at the same time, launching aut fictitious investigation, without evidence, of trump-russian collusion in a political campaign, which, by the way, there is no statute that prohibits that sort of thing, as long as money is not exchanged. >> kimberly: correct. >> we may try to frame donald trump i'll exonerating holler a clin

hillary clinton lost. that's her punishment and obviously she's stewing at another level of hell out there because she can't get over it. that's well and good but it's like saying washington is a swamp. it's like people were shocked when there was gambling going on in casablanca. yes it's a swamp out there we spent almost $7 million on mueller' investigation of this russia thing. do we need to spend millions more? yes, it's horrible, it's a swamp but hillary lost let's move on. >> dagen: but jonas, if we don't weed out the bias and the conflict which is ever more evident by the day when it comes to the mueller investigation of russian interference in the election, then what is justice in this country? we have to prove to the american people that you can trust the fbi and that trust is evaporat ing. >> well let's separate bias from just the general treatment that rich and famous people get. i mean, look anthony weiner i'm only bringing that up because he's sort of related to this case is probably the only p

it was a clinton attack. a clinton campaign funded attack on president trump that the fbi took like a baton from the clinton camp and ran with. it's really extraordinary. i hope these line agents that the justice department are talking to have whistle blower protection. >> kimberly: exactly. >> given the leadership there at the fbi now, frankly they will have targets on their back politically speaking in terms of their careers for speaking out. it's a serious situation. the idea that you are going to let, again, the bureaucracy figure out whether the bureaucracy should reopen this investigation, i'm not confident the right decision is going to be made in the long run. who knows. >> kimberly: yeah, very interesting. greg talked a little bit also about the juxtaposition of these two investigations. it's just unbelievable. it's unprecedented. >> well, one is beginning to wonder given the posity of collusion. there seems to be plethora of evidence collusion dnc and russia. it's a crime do pay a foreign national m

you want to whip up on hillary clinton. hillary clinton is not the issue here. the issue is trump and potential collusion. >> kimberly: the juxtaposition between the two. >> jesse: i will tell you the difference. hillary clinton put national security at risk. hillary clinton repeatedly didn't tell the truth. she destroyed her emails after they were subpoenaed. she smashed blackberries with hammers. when she went in for the fbi interview, she never was put under oath. general flynn never put national security at risk, never did it and never destroyed the evidence. yet he was put under oath without a lawyer and he has now lost everything. >> juan: there's no evidence -- you say that. nothing revealed. >> brian: because she bleached her emails. >> juan: nobody says she was hacked or any foreign government gained information. >> katie: just because there is a double standard does not mean michael flynn is lying to the fbi, which even president trump admits he did. however there is a double standard, and in america, people have serious questions about our federal ins

the clintons cash is spent.e democratic band wagon. >> she lost to a rookie the first time around. a total amateur. gregg: and he didn't have much of an organization it was all done on instinct and spirit. mark: she spent a billion dollars at least. gregg: her name is synonymous with scandal. mark: she had the greatest political consultant in the world living in her own house. she should have been begging him, coach me, teach me. gregg: he was telling her to campaign in the midwestern northern states. chris: after barack obama was elected president he had date ra gurus -- data gurus in the silicon valley. and they forgot the human touch. hillary clinton lacks that. democrats should beware of her reappearing. gregg: no one sees her trying to be funny in public. chris bedford, mark simone, good to see you. that will do it for us. thanks for joining us. steve forbes and ed rollins are >> another win for the president. the government avoiding a shutdown. what's next on the trump agenda? >> watch the go. stocks got a

the story line defend ing the clintons here is that hillary clinton as secretary of state didn't site panel to sign off on that deal, it happened in 2010; however, were they aware that the clinton foundation got tens of millions of dollars from frank right before all of this went down, and that frank got help from bill clinton to get uranium assets in kazakhstan. there's a lot of money going to the clinton foundation and he was involved in uranium one go ahead wendy. >> liz i think you bring up a good point and the keyword there is before. this happened and that money was exchanged before secretary clinton became secretary of state and that board was approved unanimously. >> liz: but there is, i hear what you're saying but they still paid to play allegations here involving the clinton foundation, uranium one, and anything else hillary clinton did as secretary of state involving this deal after the fact. go ahead. >> there's pay to play but it's flawed because there was no play because this happened before she was sitting on that board before she was secretary of state and what's real

he worked on the investigation of former secretary of state hiferl clinton's use -- hillary clinton's use of a private sector to conduct, what do you think? official business. according to news reports, and according to documents, it looks like he also helped draft comey's controversial public statement ending that case of hillary clinton and the e-mails. specifically, he apparently edited out language that suggested legal jeopardy for lynn. -- for clinton. press reports state that he opened the f.b.i.'s investigation of allegations of collusion between the trump campaign and the -- and russia. and it's been reported that he was one of the two f.b.i. agents who interviewed former national security advisor michael flynn. can you imagine if the shoe were on the other foot? what if a high-ranking f.b.i. official got caught expressing pro-trump political bias on his work -- on his work phone while leading what is supposed to be a professional objective and nonpartisan search for the truth. why, of course. if that were happening, democrats would go ballistic, and they would have every righ

down the entire investigation to help hillary clinton.ns are alleging. >> it's interesting, if you look at whole admittedly unusual steps that jim comey took, first announcing investigation, then saying it's over, then right before the election saying it's back, at any given point of time clinton people were outraged, then the republicans, then the clinton people. what jim comey did was unusual and we'll be debating for years about whether making the public announcements was right thing to do. and by the way when history weighs in, as member of the intelligence committee, not all the facts are known. facts that impacted his thinking. when history judges this, i think will be regarded as quandary he was put in but not a shred of evidence he was acting in partisan manner. evidenced by angering both campaigns. >> do you fear or think the president might try to fire andrew mccabe by putting pressure on rod rosenstein or christopher ray? >> i really do. we all do. seen the president's tweets slandering andrew mccabe, could be in private sector

in the original version he finds hillary clinton broke the law. somebody changed the language to absolve her. who did that? and isn't that obstruction of justice if they did it for a political reason? >> the elements of obstruction of justice would be met if you had senior officials changing this statement prepared by james comey. that is the definition of obstruction of justice. there is a team of people that appear to have been involved in the drafting of this exoneration statement. james comey was involved. there were drafts sent around to other people. we'll get to the got tomorrow of who had their nantd cookie jar as hillary clinton was held to a different standard. she got special treatment because she was a asked for president. and people at the highest levels our government were helping her. gregg: .you have any evidence that would demonstrate that? >> we are in the process of taking confidential witness statements. last week we had andrew mccabe before the committee. after giving that sworn testimony andrew mccabe decided to end his caree

strzok was present at fbi introduce of clinton top aids. abdean and mills they claimed they learned about the server arch clinton left. he loves the clintons. e mails from 2010 and 11 show they did in fact know about the server. either they mislead the fbi ore flat out lied. where are their charges? why were they spared and flynn was charged with lying to the fbi? a massive double standard. it gets worse. fox news confirmed strzok changed the language. he was the guy in the draft memo econerating clinton from grossly negligent favor to careless thanes is letting hilary off the hook. remember they wrote it before the investigation. that means the fix was it. gross negligence is part of the legal standard that mean clinton broke the law. they stood up for her and defeds and protected her. this is shocking and this is yet office of inspector general is reviewing peter sprauk's role in the e mail investigation. strzok's involvement extends to wering key areas of the russian probe, keep up well sark lot. the anti trump fake news russian propagan

dangling dirt on hillary clinton. it's a confirmation of all those reports we have been hearing about about the russian effort to penetrate the trump campaign. >> barbara, you take that and him as a cooperating witness, what investigators trying to continue to get out of him and what if he says i did it all alone? is he of less help? >> well, i think so but i think that the documents we have unsealed already suggest he didn't do it alone. the documents talk about as you mentioned these unnamed officials. at least four people high level official this and policy director that, campaign supervisor this, real people and papadopoulos can tell you their names so i think he can continue to be of great value to the campaign and most significant thing -- >> you're saying, barbara, those three people, you're saying your reading of the new material today is that he knows who those people are and told mueller who they are? >> yes. i believe that's true. it is, you know, convention not to name them in a document but i believe that

the only president of clinton we'll ever have. people want to know so you talk about golf and grandkids for the first three minutes. what was the rest of the conversation that lasted for nearly an hour. so there's many people right now who watch people for a living and type what we talk about that they can't just stop talking about hillary clinton. because she never goes away. now we find out that the fbi had pro-hillary antitrump people at the heart of the hillary investigation. very troubling. >> kelly, we just found out on friday kelly ross, filed a very bombshell report saying that michael flynn was going to be working or testifying against the president and then we come to find out that it's fake news and the conversation they were talking about after he was elected or put in place. tell us about that and any expectations you have that the apology and the suspension of brian ross is going to get the same attention that the fake news bok shell did. >> it's getting no attention. even if his own network.

in large part asked about the clinton e-mail investigation. what i'm told from republicans who left the room including jim jordan, reinforced their belief that clinton was treated favorably by the fbi by the fbi's decision not to pursue charges against clinton for handling of private e-mail server. so the question is whether or not mccabe eased any of the criticism from republicans, uncertain about that, because heading into this some republicans are saying he should step aside, including chuck grassley, said he should step aside from the job. but this is just the beginning of this investigation from the house-led -- two committees who want to look into possible fbi bias and decisions in the 2016 campaign. >> lots of important developments. thank you very much. our political and legal team is here with us. former trump adviser jason miller. former clinton manager robby mook. gloria borger and jeffrey toobin with us as well. jeff, how big of a deal is this? >> it's very important. because, remember, the core of the obstruction of justice invest

for her campaign from people close to clinton? i mean don't they have any kind of sort of sense of chinese wall at home? >> well, i think whether it's at home or in the office, you're looking at a lot of evidence that the senior leadership of this law enforcement agency was all in for hillary clinton, and -- trish: you think so? >> well you look at the strzok/ page texts and they refer to the famous moment it was in andy mccabe's office that appears where they talked about the insurance policy against trump and obviously a lot of text that show a real dislike for the man whose now our president, so i think that's the bigger question versus whether a recuse all is we're still waiting for the answer on how the surveillance apparatus got turned against the government party in tower. trish: i was talking earlier with representative peter king and the question is did they use that dossier largely discredited dossier which by the way may have been influenced heavily by the russians who were trying to mess with us, did our own fbi wind u

the clintons were smearing women who were accusing bill clinton when he was running for president and became president but at the same time clinton was being smeared by well-organized campaign which included david brock who was on the right before being on the left. in any big national discussion you might find efforts that i categorized as smears on both sides of the discussion. >> host: the best praise that you received personally and what is the best criticism you have received personally? >> guest: the best praise is people they got a peek inside a shadow we industry they knew nothing about and they now know how many of the images we run into in daily life are orchestrated. by powerful forces. the criticism i get, i hate to say from people who haven't read the book but they say something like all your examples are on one side. that is not the case, that effectively incorrect. people who haven't read it but are listening to propaganda or other critics. i read some of the reviews on amazon, negative reviews, there are not many, some of them said it is stuff they already knew, some s
